For the unaware (or don’t care), Microsoft’s Windows Vista and Office 2007 Launch is on February 3, 2007 at SM Mall of Asia. There’ll be fireworks [again]. More details at the website.

I’m still not sure if I’m going. There’s a 30% chance that I’ll be there. Eat the fence. You know naman.

If I get bored, maybe I might go there if somebody wants to go there with me. I don’t like being out or far from home on Saturdays anymore.

P.S. – I didn’t want to mention Linux and avoided bashing, but I’d be lying if I deleted them.

P.P.S. – I know my friends who work at MS don’t read my blog but in case they bump into this entry, I’d be really happy if they provide an RSS feed for MS Events.
